Gwen Stefani Takes Her Harajuku Style to Target

The successful designer — and No Doubt frontwoman — announced today that she’s partnering with Target to create Harajuku Mini, an affordable, two-installment collection for babies, children and tweens.

The line will first debut in Target stores and on target.com on Nov. 13, with a second delivery in January. Prices will range from $3.99 to $29.99.

“Harajuku Mini is a dream come true,” Stefani, 41, told WWD.

“I’ve always wanted to do a cool children’s fashion line inspired by the supercute and playful kid’s clothing you find in Japan.”

Stefani, herself a mom of two young sons, knows her customer well, and says the whole idea of the line “is about being creative, expressing your own individuality and having fun getting dressed.”

This marks the first time the designer, who’s had success with her L.A.M.B. and Harajuku Lovers lines, has created clothes for babies and boys.

“Target has given me the creative freedom to design kid’s clothing that is different than most anything you usually see out there with great quality, attention to detail and most of all, available at amazing prices,” Stefani said.

Her collection follows recent collaborations between Target and brands like Calypso St. Barth, Petit Tresor and coming soon, Missoni.

I love her line, wish she would expand for us adults. Great idea nonetheless, Target is awesome!!

It would be nice if these clothes were made in America. ( I hope they are.) Buying crap made in China is destroying OUR country!

Stacey,
It’s not just China, it’s the Philippians, India, Pakistan, Mexico and I am sure I am missing a few more. We can thank the past and current big business tax breaks and the ‘fast track (trade)” from a president I wont mention for most of the outsourcing that has happened.

I am so excited to see this line. I love the new trend of larger designers making less expensive collections for Target.

I actually don’t care for her adult women line – LAMB. The cuts are not flattering on the majority of women. Having said that, I love her hair in the above pic! I also think that the design inspiration for her children’s line sounds intriguing and have a feeling I’ll really like it for my kids. :-)

um no thanks…if its anything like how she dresses her 2 kids, then i dont think ill be buying. Oh yeah wait Kingston dresses and picks out his own clothes. I love target, and i like gwen but when it comes to her kids, and fashion for them, i think i would rather dress them in target clothing, but i do hope its nothing like her style for her boys

I know this is only my opinion but the crap Target buys from the ‘top designers’ is so freaking ugly! What ever happened for making good quality basics instead I always wind up buying their designer down line products on the the clearance racks. Usually for night time wear… I glad Gwen is so successful but her clothing and style is not MY style.
